More chances to catch the outspoken icon...
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 May 2011
Not content with selling out Vicar Street in impressively short time, Morrissey has added a second date due to phenomenal demand. Originally set to play the famous venue for the first time on July 29, the controversial singer will also take to the stage on the following night, Saturday July 30.
In addition to his Dublin shows, Morrissey will also take to the stage at the Savoy Theatre in Cork on Wednesday July 27. Fans can expect to hear some stunning live renditions of tracks from The Very Best Of Morrissey, which is available now on both CD and DVD.
Tickets for both Dublin and Cork are priced €48.20 and go on sale this Thursday at 9am through Ticketmaster and all usual outlets. In the meantime you can catch Moz's sensational article on The Queen in the current issue of Hot Press.

Morrissey. Avatar of melancholic self-pity, sexual ambiguity, and intense misanthropy. Well, bollocks to that. Somewhere along the road to perdition he has experienced a Damascene conversion. Tonight he stalks the stage like a latter day Errol Flynn, and with his cabal of pink-shirted buccaneers beside him, parades his new, invigorated self.

The Moz is back! Again! ‘You Have Killed Me’ has been available on his myspace page since early February, acting as a taster from his forthcoming album, Ringleader Of The Tormentors. But with its official CD release, we can confirm that it’s typical of Morrissey’s modern-day mettle, being an uplifting yet brooding affair which pays particular focus to the strength of the chorus. Fingers crossed the rebirth he’s just enjoyed is safe for another round.
2006-03-21 - REVIEW
Like the album that immediately preceded it, Ringleader Of The Tormentors is a record of extremes. Extreme bitterness, extreme joy. Above all, extreme guitars – they chug and howl, burying the Moz whine beneath vast drifts of fretwork.

Curious beast, Morrissey. Few others can have had cause to look back on last year with such a happy heart, 12 months that saw him revive a struggling solo career and re-emerge as a genuine star, something that would certainly be worth marking. Odd then that this is a slightly slip-shod effort.

Any cynics betting on an evening of flabby nostalgia and/or paycheque-induced dead-but-won’t-lie-downism can pay up now. That’s not to say it’s anything less than heartstoppingly moving to hear the old stuff in the flesh , but it’s more thrilling still to witness a sterling set drawn mostly from brill new LP You Are The Quarry and to see and hear proof in spades that Moz in 2004 isn’t just trading on past glories.

Even ordinary life is pretty complex stuff, or so says American Splendor. Morrissey, pop’s foremost oddball-in-exile, has put a lot of living into this, his rebirth after seven years, and such a stretch in such an extraordinary life should provide rich, plentiful pickings. It does, in part.
